Histogram where you want to keep a count for each float value you’ve seen (maybe rounded to some precision to reduce the number of buckets)
Not disagreeing with your comment, just saying it’s not uncommon
I was struggling with this just today: Realizing I keep putting off writing tests for some modules because mocking a certain mega interface is a pain.
Your post gives me some great hints for things to try. Looking forward to experimenting with it.
I do this so all my pictures are included in my (off-Apple) backups.
I’m leaving this comment in hope to look back at it in a few years and be proved utterly wrong.
This white paper seems like the usual web3 pie in the sky nothing-burger: Generate hype, cash in, keep repeating as long as it works, then abandon.
There’s enough meat on the fire that it would take 20 successful companies a decade to implement a subset of what Lamina1 target in the near future.
One example that stands out to me in the sea of red flags:
> On-chain in-band messaging on Lamina1 is an area of active research, with an eye on major areas of innovation.
I read this (in context) as: our chain will be so fast it’ll be used for everything, including real time gaming events.
To be fair, a couple of paragraphs later:
> State changes must be synchronized among all participants and serialized to some kind of storage. A combination of on-chain and other decentralized services can achieve this.
Details on vague claims like this is what I was looking for in this paper, but there’s none.
I wish all the best to the Lamina1 team, but as things stands today, this looks to me like just another crypto grift.
[for context: I have ~20 years of experience with consensus protocols, cloud infrastructure, P2P systems, and, more recently, blockchains. I despise the sorry state of cryptocurrencies as much as the next HN user]

I recently released something similar[1][2] (cross-platform file transfer, mostly for LAN but also works over the internet).
I feel like our projects are kinda complementary, you do frontend well, I think I win in terms of backend.

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking
Fractional-reserve banking is the system of banking operating in almost all countries worldwide,[1][2] under which banks may hold liquid assets representing only a portion of the deposits that they are liable to pay.[3] These liquid assets, known as reserves, may include cash in the bank or balances in the bank's account at the central bank. The country's central bank determines the minimum amount that banks must hold in liquid assets, called the "reserve requirement" or "reserve ratio". Most commercial banks hold more than this minimum amount as excess reserves.
When a loan is made by the commercial bank, the bank is keeping only a fraction of central bank money as reserves and the money supply expands by the size of the loan.[5] This process is called "deposit multiplication".It can also distribute files to sets of machines based on tags. And the web UI allows sharing via Upload/Download links. Although it is rough around the edges, I'm using Nasefa daily.
This started as learning project. An excuse to play with NATS (https://nats.io)
If you’re a company you need to pay your employee, vendors etc. Tracking down all related transactions is not that hard.
My guess is they wouldn’t even attempt to stay anonymous that way since they don’t have to and it doesn’t work anyway (for an organization like them)
Doesn’t the entire world have access to that balance sheet in their case?
For example looked up ‘Nirvana’ and I only see their debut album, Bleach, available.
Still a great suggestion! Maybe I can’t get everything from there, but I can get some!
3 main categories: Must do, should do, could do. (Plus a couple of other for recurring and seasonal).
On Sunday eve or Monday morning I go through, add new things, delete done things.
Then pick things I want to do this week and transfer it on a sheet of paper that sits on my desk.
Don’t bother trying to unsubscribe. It leaks the same information as above, plus you may get infected. They won’t stop spamming.
Train yourself and your spam filter to catch spam. Never engage.
The already low yearly fees were discounted for good grades and jobs for students are provided to help with living expenses.
Ended grad school positive on my bank account, loved studying what I studied (distributed systems).
The US school system has some upsides, but the whole student debt thing is pretty F’d up.

Is that the case?
We all understand the importance of databases and in general storing state. Do you know any other paradigm/system where a database is not controlled by a ‘root’ user with god powers?
That’s what blockchain is. If people are going nuts using it to create currencies and selling each other JPGS, that’s their business. Doesn’t deny the usefulness of the underlying paradigm.
But for the sake of discussion… can you really say they are not tracking your every move, cross-referencing with other sources and selling your data?
I don’t think you can. All you can say is they are not using the standard front-end methods of tracking (which by itself is reason to be thankful for!)
> The reason you haven’t heard about it is because they passed on it in June. So it’s no longer an HBO Max project. It’s reverted to Paramount. And Kennedy/Marshall.
Amazon is definitely the most frequent in the bunch, has been for years. At least 1-2 nice customized email a month.
Now, now… calling extra security steps for online purchases ‘extremely painful’ and ‘economically detrimental’ seems a bit excessive.
In fact, I think these steps may be there just to make people feel more secure about buying online (this would totally work with my mom, who after many years of visiting me in the USA is still afraid of giving her card to the waiter in a restaurant to pay for dinner).
